This is a really cool thing for you to do Glissant. That being said, I have my eye on that orangesicle clack, as I have yet to own one (or any CC for that matter) as well as the GH60s. I really love the colour, as well as orange creamsicles, so this is probably one of my favourite click clacks. Then again, I don't believe this is really a good enough reason for me to deserve this click clack. But was that the only thing I have to bring to the table? Oh... No of course not. All great plans must have a backup. They say there is no reward without effort. So I give you my best effort. Probably one of the most amazing things I've made thus far in my short 17 year old life. A solid hour and a half of work.
Now then.. Let me tell you a story.
It starts with a piece of paper. 15cm x 15cm creamsicle coloured origami paper to be exact.
But wait... What's this? An OEM profile F-Key from a CM Quickfire Rapid? The art begins.
What a familiar shape... Is that... No.. It can't be.
After getting the shape to an acceptable standard, I darken the lines and begin to cut it out.
The rough cutouts are done and the fit is tested before more exact cuts are made.
When the cuts are made, I make a tape loop and attach it to the back of the skull, attaching it to the cap as I work on taping together the edges.
When the edges are all taped together, I slide it back onto the key cap. Sadly I over-cut some edges and the key cap shows on the bottom, but I somewhat rectified it at the end.
That wasn't the end. I decided to do layers of tape on top in order to help preserve the art and to give it a glossy look. At the end, at a distance it just looks like a solid layer of lamination, which is the desired effect. It is secured to the key cap by tape wrapped around the bottom.
And that... Is how I created my Paper Skull. I actually like it so much that I think I am going to permanently keep it on my QFR.
After post edit: Working with tape and paper is a b****!
